If you ever want to operate the account/s you have in the MyNxt Wallet using the full Nxt Client, you need to export your MyNxt Wallet passphrase so you can use it in a local version of the core Nxt Client in your computer. If you want to do this, here's how.

Remember that MyNxt does not have the secret passphrase for the Nxt account you access using the Online Wallet, for obvious security reasons. When you operate in the MyNxt Wallet, your transactions are signed locally in your browser, and the secret passphrase required to send transactions to the network using that Nxt account never leaves your computer.

This secret passphrase (the one generated by the Nxt Client or yourself when you create a new Nxt account using the full Nxt Client) is obtained by the MyNxt software using your MyNxt credentials, most particularly your master password. This master password is not known by the MyNxt servers either (only a hash of this password is stored) and this is why it is VITAL that you keep your MyNxt master password safe. As you saw in the warning when creating your MyNxt Wallet, if you lose your master password you'll lose access to your account - the same happens with the secret passphrase for accounts created with the Nxt Client.

4.- You need the MyNxt Wallet Viewer mentioned in the reminder above. You can grab it here.

5.- Open the wallet.json.aes file you downloaded with the Wallet Viewer (you'll need to enter again your MyNxt master password). Then you'll see a table with all the accounts found in your MyNxt Wallet, each with the numeric Nxt account ID and the password for that account. Keep this password safe!

6.- Use this password to access the corresponding Nxt account in your local Nxt Client.

So, Im totally new to this but i set up a wallet and wrote down the master password, i downloaded the client and set it up but i set it up with a different account, i wrote down the passphrase for this new "client account" then logged out and reopened with original wallet account and now i need a passphrase for that account, but i never received one for this account, so i did a search and found this. now i have made it to step 5 but its asking for the passphrase!!! i don't have it!!! i never had one for this wallet! what can I do?

now i have made it to step 5 but its asking for the passphrase!!! i don't have it!!! i never had one for this wallet! what can I do?

No worries, it seems to be just a confusion in terms. The "passphrase" you see requested in this step is the master password for your MyNxt Wallet. It is needed to decrypt the exported wallet, and then you will see the Nxt account (numeric) ID for the account you have in MyNxt and the corresponding password for the account in the Nxt blockchain. This is the password you can use with the Nxt Client to unlock your MyNxt account there.

The MyNxt Wallet Viewer could use a change from "passphrase" string to "MyNxt master password" string to avoid this confusion. We'll push that change to the code soon.

Any possibility you could offer some guidance with getting the wallet viewer working? I'm having problems on my Ubuntu machine.

I have received your message in the MyNxt support mailbox, and I'm sending you the steps to build the Wallet Viewer on Ubuntu from source code (they can be found here). If that is an inconvenience, I can also provide a built binary for Ubuntu. So no worries, you'll have your Nxt Client passphrase.

Van, thanks for your email. To be specific about didn't work, the SCONS part seemed to not work. In the 5 specific lines of instruction you sent me, lines 2 and 5 did not work. Like I said, I was able to grab an EXE file on the Windows computer at my work and access my json. However, I think a compiled viewer would be useful as I see more people having this issue as the Ardor distribution nears an end and people realize they have limited functionality with the web wallet and want to use the actual desktop client.

Just download 'myNXTWalletViewer_Ubuntu_64bit_binary' and execute it with double click. Unless you're running a different Ubuntu version, it should work for you.

In any case, if you want to find out why it failed to build for you (what you say suggests that a dependency failed to download) please post the exact error you're getting after line 2, or send it to me via slack or mail support. Maybe the Ubuntu version you're running has trouble fetching one of the dependencies from the repository.

I have a Mac, so I cannot use any of this software. So how can I decryt my .json.aes file to get my passphrase?

Update: To Mac users please use (only this time) VitualBox and run windows, download the "myNXTWalletViewer.exe" file that is showed here https://github.com/mynxt-info/WalletViewer/releases and then back to the step 5: Open the wallet.json.aes file you downloaded with the Wallet Viewer (you'll need to enter again your MyNxt master password). Then you'll see a table with all the accounts found in your MyNxt Wallet, each with the numeric Nxt account ID and the password for that account. Keep this password safe!

When I try to download the Wallet Viewer, a box pops up asking.... How do you want to open this file? The options are: Internet Explorer, Notepad, Office XML, Paint, Media Player, Word, etc... I chose Internet Explorer and box pops up that says "View and track your download". It give you the option of saving the Wallet Viewer. So, that's what I did. But when I try to open the Wallet Viewer in my downloads, it won't open. I'm running Windows 10.

I have forgotten my MyNXT master password, last used it over a year ago and what i thought it was doesn't seem to work now. I know the servers don't hold the password, but if they hold the hash is it possible to get access to the hash? and what hashing algo is it? I know the likely derivations of my master password so if I had this information I think I could brute force it locally with a script.

Hello AIO,

we'd need to get some developer feedback to see if that is feasible (currently MyNxt lacks a resident dev) so please allow us for a few days to check details. If I don't contact you by DM in the next days, please do contact me to remind me of your issue.

although the day before the first IGNIS ICO round I posted here instructions to participate in the ICO using the MyNxt Wallet Monetary Plugin (which was from the moment of the post available for free) that recommendation for MyNxt Wallet users had to be changed the day afterwards to use the official Nxt Client, due to the unexpected results in the first ICO stages with someone using the API to gain an edge in timing.

The recommendation for everyone (including MyNxt Wallet users) to run the official Nxt Client for the IGNIS ICO hasn't changed since. It is true, however, that the Full Client plugin is currently not offering client version updates because MyNxt does not have reliable developer support right now. Although even if it did, to participate in the ICO with chances of success a full Nxt node is required.

This said, if you still need assistance with your issue please send me a message and we'll sort it out.

Given that the full client is free I consider that too expensive. Whether you find not having to install the full client and download the blockchain and update worth it is up to you of course. At least it should work then for that price.

But I am not able to participate in the IGNIS ICO as the plugin still shows the old version 1.11.7.How do i update it to the latest version.

Also, when installing the plugin, it was said that it automatically updates to the latest version, instead of doing it manually.

No idea, but why not ask them? If already paid they should give some support.

First time I used NXT i signed up with myNXT wallet. And I cant see to have received any passphrase on the online wallet. How can I obtain it? I have all my other info and I can log in to the wallet with assets on both desktop and online now. But I have no masterpassword/passhprase what so ever.

What must I do?

Hello viekbreu,

when you signed up with myNXT wallet, you went through this step:

the master password you introduced here (and hopefully you saved securely as indicated) is the one needed to follow the procedure in the first post of this topic, in order to decrypt your myNXT wallet and obtain the Nxt passphrase for the account/s you operated with it, so you can keep using them with the Nxt Client.

When you say you have "all your other info", do you refer to the NXT account number in your wallet? That is the address, which you can use to see your (public) wallet contents in the Nxt Client, same as you can see the history of a Bitcoin address in a BTC blockchain explorer. In order to actually unlock your account, to send any transactions from it, you need to have the Nxt passphrase for the account.

And in order to get that Nxt passphrase for the account you used in myNXT, you need to download and decrypt a copy of your myNXT data. For this you need the master password you entered in myNXT registration.

So we can only recover our passphrases from wallet dot mynxt dot info is we use Windows or Linux?? Pls tell me this isn't true. As a Mac user, that would truly suck. Furthermore, I can't use Bootcamp to partition my disk -- which I wouldn't want to ever do in the first place -- because you need at least 50GB free and I only have 25GB free, after having decluttered everything over the course of 4 hrs yesterday.

Please do as Jose suggested. Sadly the developers did not provide an executable of the myNXT wallet viewer in Mac, and attempts to build from source only worked for specific OS X versions. So Mac users are encouraged to create a new account in the official Nxt Client and transfer their NXT and assets (including ARDR) to the new account.

Ok. Thanks for getting back. Will attempt what you said, though I'm not confident in myself to move ARDR over. Does this work like Ethereum blockchain, where tokens have to be removed first before remaining Ether (gas) is removed?That is, do I transfer ARDR first and *then* transfer NXT?

I chose option 1 "Alternatively, if you don't want to download the Nxt Client, you can use the Jelurida public Nxt node."

Using the public node will i be able to participate in ardr or nxt snapshots for future tokens?

Can someone explain to me why there was a mynxt wallet when the jelurida public node seems to do the exact same thing

The public node is a public wallet, that allows you to create Nxt accounts and save the account passphrase. If you have the passphrase for your Nxt account, you'll be able to claim in Ardor, after launch, the tokens you earned.

And the reason why myNXT wallet existed is because in 2014 (when it started working) there was no light client option, nor a public trusted node like the one provided by Jelurida. This node did not exist over a year ago. Also, even after a trusted public node existed, the myNXT wallet could be convenient for many users because it was very simple to operate compared to the full Nxt wallet.

Transferring an asset (like ARDR) in the Nxt blockchain costs the basic transaction fee, which is 1 NXT. So if you have for instance 2,000 NXT and 1,000 ARDR and want to transfer them all to another Nxt account, you transfer first your ARDR (1,999 NXT left) and then you transfer 1,998 NXT, leaving the last one aside for this second transaction fee.

Hello, Previously I used the myNext wallet and moving to the Nxt Client. I'm a newbie and not get it fully. I've managed to download the passphrase file. And also to decrypt it. So now I've several things to fill in somewhere. But I'm a bit lost. I've my password to get into myNext wallet (is useless now, I guess)I started the Nxt Client. It asked whether I'm new or returning. I choose returning and it asked my account address: NXT-etc-etc-etc-etc. Then I started downloading the Blockchain (it still is....). I saw my balance (public information?) and later it disappears in my dashboard (now it's 0, all of a sudden ) I haven't fill in any passphrase yet. I see a 'set account info', there is a field for a password. Is that yet another password or should i fill in the password (long String) that is encrypted in the downloaded file or do I have to fill in the 'restore passphase'?

Correct, once you have downloaded & decrypted your myNXT wallet and you can access the Nxt account using the Nxt Client, you don't need the myNXT master password anymore.

I started the Nxt Client. It asked whether I'm new or returning. I choose returning and it asked my account address: NXT-etc-etc-etc-etc. Then I started downloading the Blockchain (it still is....). I saw my balance (public information?) and later it disappears in my dashboard (now it's 0, all of a sudden )

When you open in the Nxt Client a specific NXT address, as you say there's only public information visible. You're seeing the account with the official Nxt Client interface, but other than that it's not essentially different from a blockchain explorer. In this sense, you haven't really "logged in" to the account. To send any transactions, or to access any private data (like contents of an encrypted message received in the account) that's when you need to prove you own the private key for the account - the passphrase you obtained.

And the balance is 0 because, as you chose to install Nxt as full client and not light client, it is downloading to your computer a copy of the blockchain. And then your Nxt Client only knows about the blockchain blocks that have been retrieved so far. This means that you'll see the account balance corresponding to the latest block you've downloaded. Once the blockchain is fully downloaded, you'll see the account balance and details updated to the current Nxt block.

I haven't fill in any passphrase yet. I see a 'set account info', there is a field for a password. Is that yet another password or should i fill in the password (long String) that is encrypted in the downloaded file or do I have to fill in the 'restore passphase'?

I think I answered this above, but as said, the passphrase is only needed when you have to prove ownership of the account. This is decrypting any encrypted stuff for your eyes only, or signing/sending transactions from the account. Other than using it when the client asks you to introduce it, remember to keep the passphrase securely and privately saved because it is the real key to the control of your account.

I set up and downloaded the ardor wallet through Nxt. I received a NXT address. Following this I transferred the ardor coins to this address.A few months later I went to transfer these coins back out to an exchange to sell them. At this point i was asked for a passphrase which never happened before. Even when I logged in to the Nxt wallet. I did have a passphrase written down which I then used. However, a message came up to say the passphrase was incorrect. It was at this point I noticed I had a second NXT adress and for this NXT address, it seems the passphrase is connected to that.I reloaded the Nxt wallet and used this second NXT address to log in with the passphrase I had and this worked successfully. However, upon doing this, it created a new NXT address as well as showing the original NXT address under accounts I had to which I had transferred the coins / tokensMy issue is I can see my tokens but I can not transfer these tokens.

(Updated: please ignore, I have transferred the NXT to another account. I am still interested in a solution, but it is not important anymore. MODs: feel free to delete this post, I do not see how I could do it)

as suggested I have downloaded my wallet.json.aes.Additionally, I have downloaded the MyNxt Wallet Viewer myNXTWalletViewer_Ubuntu_64bit_binary to my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop.

However, I could not start the viewer (./myNXTWalletViewer_Ubuntu_64bit_binary: error while loading shared libraries: libpolarssl.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director).

As far as I understood, the PolarSSL has been renamed to libmbedtls, which I have tried to install, but could not solve the problem.

Could you give me a hint on how to solve this problem or could someone recompile myNXTWalletViewer_Ubuntu_64bit_binary with the actual library?

Is there any way to check whether my downloaded wallet is valid or not ( so that in case of say a missing byte I could still decide to transfer the NXT tonight to another account)?

Hi 40ps,

I replied to your PM, you brought a good point. I've duplicated your issue with Ubuntu Xenial. As you say, polarssl became mbedtls in the repositories and thus Ubuntu 16+ may return either dependency errors (when running the available wallet viewer binary) or build errors if compiling from source. Patching the original C++ code is beyond my capabilities, so what worked for me in Ubuntu 16 is installing the late polarssl manually from their download archives.

tar xvfz polarssl-1.3.9-gpl.tgzcd polarssl-1.3.9makesudo make installNow polarssl is in your system, and the wallet viewer executable should not fail. You can also build the wallet viewer from source on Ubuntu 16+ if you want.

I have downloaded and decrypted the backup, and it gave me a “id” which is 18 numbers and a “password” which is 67 characters. I have also downloaded the NXT client. I’d like to send this ARDR to another NXT account I created where I actually have a “passphrase” which is some random words.

When I go to My Assets and see the ARDR Balance then click on transfer, I am asked to type in the receiving address, the amount, the fee and the passphrase. This is where I run into an issue.

When it asks me for the passphrase, I put in the “password” I decrypted and I am getting the error “Incorrect passphrase”. Granted, I don’t have any nxt for the fee yet. However, should the error message be "no fee"?

Is the password I decrypted able to use to sign transactions? Is there an additional step I missed?

Please help.

The myNXT wallet viewer was written long ago and it uses old names... "ID" is the Nxt address in the old numeric format, instead of the now known Reed-Solomon format, and "Password" is the passphrase for the address. So that is the string you need to add when you're sending a transaction with the Nxt Client and it asks you for the passphrase.

I understand you accessed the account using the address as NXT-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX format (either because you have it from the myNXT wallet dashboard, or because you searched the numeric format in a block explorer). If you were trying to send ARDR from the same address you got the wallet backup for, the passphrase should work. Maybe an error when typing, or copy-pasting? Have you tried to right click on the "Password" field in the wallet viewer, hit Copy and then Paste in the Nxt Client passphrase field?

When I launch the NXT Client, it gives me the option to log in with the passphrase/password that I decrypted.

No. The "password" decrypted by the myNXT Wallet Viewer will lead to the account ID you could see in your myNXT web wallet (unless you had more than one account in the web wallet, then you will decrypt more than one password).

Most likely you made a mistake when logging in to the Nxt Client. When you see the myNXT decrypted wallet contents, right click on the password and select Copy. Then make sure you select the passphrase login option in the Nxt Client splash page, the key icon, and right click - paste the password in the box.

Hi VanBreuk, thank you for taking the time to respond, but it is no irrelevant. My NXT is now allowing people to send ARDR directly from its website to a new wallet. I simply created a new wallet and sent the ARDR to it!! All good! Thank you!

I could really use some advice and would appreciate any help. I have owned some Ardor for a while , held in mynxt and I just found out about the MYNXT deletion / shutdown and since it was after Dec 1, I am using the "Download Backup Wallet" method to try and access my ARDOR balance and send from it. Following the advice on the forums , So far I have accessed the passphrase in the MYNXT wallet as described and opened it up , saved it . I downloaded the NXT Client. I log in using the original NXT ID / address or the passphrase with the ardor balance and get into my client OK. The problem I have is I see the balance of my Ardor only under the assets tab , I am not able to send any assets out. Sometimes it says "insufficient balance" when I try to send just a small amount. Would I be better off using the Jeluridia Ardor site to try and access the ardor? Whenever I log out of the client I need to re-boot my PC to access it again , probably unrelated but I thought worth mentioning. "Database may already be in use" What I would like to do is have access to my ARDR balance.

Could it be that you only have ARDR but no NXT in your wallet? You need NXT to pay the fees to send out any ARDR!

If you’re short of NXT, simply post your address and I guess someone will fund your wallet!

The "Blockchain download halted, no connection" error is a Nxt Client error. Means that either the Nxt software has closed, or that it cannot reach the network due to some firewall/router problems.

Can you please confirm what are you trying to do? This topic is for users of the myNXT web wallet (third party wallet, closing at the end of this December) who want to keep using the Nxt account/s they operated using the myNXT wallet. This means using the official Nxt Client instead. And in the official Nxt Client, ownership of an account is proven with the account passphrase. The steps in the first post describe how to obtain the account passphrase from your myNXT web wallet account, so you can operate it with the official Nxt Client.

partially correct, I haven't been paying attention enough to know the wallet was shutting down at the end of the month, I moved my NXT coins from Poloniex back in July. I opened the wallet to store them and am fairly certain I don't have a passphrase however I have a balance of almost 25k that it keeps asking for a passphrase for me to do anything with them (or anything at all)

Ok. Ive got a problem. I backed up my Mynxt wallet, extracted the paraphrase, and loged into the new ardr client. Everything worked fine until i tryed to make a transfer from my second Mynxt address (i had two address in the same Mynxt account). So basically i can only use one of my addresses. When i got to make a transfer from my second address it says the paraphrase (the one i exported from Mynxt wallet backup) is incorrect.

Need help

If you downloaded your myNXT wallet backup and used the wallet viewer to decrypt it, in the contents there were as many accounts as you had in your myNXT wallet. If you had two accounts in the myNXT wallet, your decrypted wallet will show two accounts in the list, each with its ID (the ID is displayed in the old numeric Nxt address format, since the wallet viewer itself is old) and password/passphrase.

A note to users who missed the warnings, website notices and emails about the myNXT wallet site closing in December 31, and did not download a backup of your myNXT wallet so you can keep using the accounts:

For a limited amount of time, I will be able to send by request a copy of the wallet.json.aes file to users who need it, and have their myNXT credentials available. Please see the first post in this topic to understand how the wallet backup process works.

Remember that this wallet.json.aes file was encrypted with your myNXT master password, so you still require to have it in order to decrypt the wallet data using the Wallet Viewer tool.

If you want to request a copy of your myNXT encrypted wallet data, please send me a personal message. I'm asking you to have a little patience, there's a lot of requests. But all will be addressed.

I have exactly the same problem. I decrypted my backup file using Windows, and I'm getting an id which is 18 numbers and a password which is 67 characters and not the "12 word passphrase" that I was expecting. When I use this passphrase for my wallet address, it says "Incorrect passphrase." and when I login using the password, then it shows me a completely different NXT wallet address. I am stuck on this, and don't know what to do.@VanBreuk Please help me...

s@t0sh! - I got your PM, we'll figure out what happens. But a random 60+ character string is the passphrase format that myNXT generated for user accounts, so no surprise here. Any string can be a Nxt/Ardor passphrase, the official wallet went for a 12-word format but in early times of Nxt it was common to use long random strings.

With the note right above your post, I'm locking this topic. If during this extra month of grace anyone still needs to obtain a copy of their myNXT wallet account data, contact me by personal message. But please be aware that this outstanding data recovery service will not be available after the end of January.
